Curse

I would have to concur that from a lore standpoint, Dhuum would probably be the most powerful, since even in a full party of 8 people, and the help of all the reapers, all that can be done is putting him back to sleep. Plus, correct me if I'm wrong, but the quest dialogues say nothing about how long Dhuum would be put back to sleep after we confront him. I guess at this point we could merge the lore and mechanics of the game to say that every time we enter the Underworld, Dhuum awakens once again, and therefore there is a constant struggle just to keep him dormant, let alone actually kill him.

It also seems that from the lore, the Great Destroyer could also be viewed as being extremely powerful, supposedly being hand-picked by Primordus, perhaps soon to be one of the most powerful creatures ever, as his/her general. If Primordus is as powerful as the lore suggests, he or she could have picked Shiro, the Lich Lord, possibly even Dhuum or Abaddon as the right-hand man. Remember, the power of the elder dragons is said to rival that of the gods, so if they really are that strong, recruiting a fallen god could be feasible, especially since it could help said god to regain lost power. The fact that Primordus selected the Great Destroyer says something about the power it has. Also, as with Dhuum, it could be possible that the Great Destroyer has recently come out of a dormant state, and therefore may not be using the full potential of his/her power at the time we actually confront him/her in game.

The 2010 dialogue versions of the 09 Halloween quests have stated that Dhuum is constantly re-awakening.

Well there ya go! I didn't bother to read this year, assuming that they didn't change.... guess I'll have to get on wiki and check it out.

But anyways, this is a little bit off topic.... but since Dhuum hates those who "cheat death", why doesn't he hate himself? Cheating death is essentially what he is doing every time he is fought in the Underworld...

Technically, he isn't, as he is never nearly killed nor is the objective to kill him. Cheating death most likely refers to those who are resurrected or are undead, but could be referring to those who just barely escape death.

And considering his elite minions are skeletons, he most likely is a hypocrite.
